Bringing a unique & colorful range of education and work experience, I am a mission-driven, lifelong advocate of egalitarian psychiatric rehabilitation. I use techniques, philosophies, and practices from around the world along with common sense from years of working in many different roles to provide clients with personalized and nuanced psychotherapy. I help people move toward their own "self-actualization", wherever they may be. I have worked with people experiencing severe mental illness, people working through criminal sentencing, and the general population. I keep a meditation practice and offer therapy-integrated and/or standalone certified mindfulness/meditation instruction. I have an innate capacity to see and connect with people struggling in difficult places; I meet and understand people no matter who or where they are in life.

Life follows a continuous flow. Yet, when you hit a log jam in daily living, relationships, or stress, you can't flow at all. Anxiety or depression, stops you. Your inner critic quickly points out flaws, and you can start doubting yourself or your abilities. But don't give up or give in. I bring 25 years of helping clients move through change, and the search for meaning. My approach is strength-based, with a focus on how mental, emotional, and physical health are intertwined.

Also, I specialize in issues faced by people living with chronic illness, chronic pain, or invisible disability. It's only when you can bring full awareness to your chronic condition, that you gain control and the ability to choose your way forward. I work with individuals, their families and caregivers, and run the group "Chronic Illness, Resilience, and Life!"

I believe in a therapeutic process that is collaborative and flexible, meeting my clients where they are to foster meaningful growth. I approach therapy with warmth and honest reflection to create a non-judgmental space for self exploration. I am passionate about working with individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional struggles, low self esteem, transitional issues and attachment injuries. My aim is to collaboratively help you understand patterns in which you feel stuck, find relief from narratives that are no longer yours, and learn how to move towards your goals. My style is warm, genuine and nonjudgmental while providing transparent feedback throughout the therapeutic process to maximize emotional growth and healing. I work as a supportive partner with each of my clients to find and achieve long term solutions.
